Taylor prepared to leave Swansea

The defender attracted interest from Fulham in January, with the Swans rejecting a £4million offer from the Cottagers.

"There was a bid for me from Fulham, it was rejected by the club and that is how football works and that's it," he said. "It was the club's decision. If they had a price they would have sold me for then at least then I would have known I was not wanted or not needed. It would have made the decision for me.

"As you know my wife was giving birth on transfer deadline day, what was going on was at the back of my mind but I am settled here, I have a house here.

"But ultimately I want to play football and every player would tell you the same. I need games."
